HWH Approved, Non Toxic Fashion Brands
Why Is This Important?
Did you know that the fashion/textile industry is one of the most harmful industries to human and planet health?
Synthetic fabrics are made from polyester, a product of the PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.
There are a few routes toxins can take into our body. These include INGESTION, INHALATION, and DERMAL ABSORPTION.
Our skin is our largest organ and can absorb certain chemicals through dermal (skin) absorption. This is a cause of concern when wearing toxic clothing made from petroleum byproducts and other ones treated with stain guard, waterproofing, and other things chock full of chemicals like PFAs, pesticides, phthalates, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and toxic dyes.
My BEST TIP is to wear clothes made from natural fibers as much as possible. GOTS Certified organic cotton is my fave.
